although having said that
spring has come
it is merely oratorical
it is still so cold
when we have the wind
bushwarblers that are in the valley
are giving heart to the spring field
but they have yet to sing
because they would size up
the time has not still come
they have given it time
and kept still in the bush silently
because they would size up
the time has not still come
they have given it time
and kept still in the bush silently

the ice begins thawing
the leeds start sprouting
then we feel the spring has come
but don’t misread the situation
it never welcome you
as anyting but a diversion
yesterday and today that
it has been still snowy
yesterday and today that
we still have been under the snowy sky

if someone doesn’t say
the spring has come
if something doesn’t give
the indication of the spring
we would be uncouscious, if not so
though once we hear, we read the sign
we would be aching
and get all excited
about the situation of the spring
we begin to be transported with its joy
in these days
we begin to be transported with the spring joy
in these days
